{vintage gardens}: a palette of peach, green + ivory

May 25, 2011

{Orange, Peach, Light Green, Mint + Ivory}

There is something to be said about a color palette that is effortlessly pretty. Peach has always been one of those colors in my book. Peach comes across as light and airy and has all sorts of romantic associations. And what better color to pair peach with than shades of green? I adore how these colors {for a lack of a better word}, marry! Such a dreamy palette full of sweetness, and love. To me, this palette feels delicate + dainty. I absolutely adore the image of the teacup and saucer. I'm imagining a romantic wedding held on the grounds of a beautiful garden. Each place setting would have the finest of china with gorgeous pops of peach and green throughout. {continued...}

I guess I've always been sort of in love with the idea of having custom china flown in for a wedding. Special china. You know, the kind that has gorgeous ornate floral patterns? Something that feels a tad vintage. And although it's seemingly more reasonable to simply use what is provided by your venue, it's a fun idea I think. Especially if you have the extra money to blow on something frivolous. I, for one, love weddings that exude and aura of simple elegance. I'm also adoring this bride's hairstyle! So fun and whimsical. And a little messy even! So what do you think? Do you fancy this peach and green palette like I do?

This is my absolute favorite! I was having such trouble describing and envisioning my wedding until I saw this! Your designs are amazing! Do you, by any chance, recall where you found the picture you used of the bouquet? I'm trying to look for a better quality image of it for my records. :) Thanks again!
